About
Takeya Kitta is a leading researcher in urology and pelvic floor rehabilitation, whose work bridges surgical innovation and postoperative recovery. His primary research areas include pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for continence after prostatectomy, and the prevention of complications in robotic pelvic surgery. Kitta’s most impactful contribution is a landmark randomised controlled trial (2024, 11 citations) demonstrating that pre- and postoperative supervised PFMT significantly improves continence and pelvic floor muscle function following robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy—a finding with direct implications for improving quality of life in prostate cancer survivors. He has also made notable contributions to surgical safety, as evidenced by his case report (2023, 7 citations) documenting small intestinal obstruction caused by barbed suture after sacrocolpopexy, alerting surgeons to a rare but serious complication. Through these works, Kitta has shaped clinical guidelines for perioperative physiotherapy and heightened awareness of suture-related risks. His research is widely cited by urologists and physiotherapists, reflecting its practical impact on patient care and surgical best practices.
